I read most of the CVD. Now I am Planning to start preparation for my CCIE lab. I am searching for some active CCIE Collaboration Study Group. Please add me if you have any else let me know so I can start my own.

I am also preparing for CCIE COllaboration and had decided upon which training center i would join.

But few of my friends insisted my to join CCIE HOME mumbai as they were of good review for Arshad and Joaquim.

They have been trained under them and were full of praise for Arshad.

So i finally decided to join CCIE HOME mumbai, and i was shocked that i was alloted another trainer name Salman (youngest CCIE).

I assumed it could be that that Basics would be cleared by Salman and CCIE would be taken by Arshad or Joaquim.

As the bootcamp progressed i realized that it was salman himself who will be taking my training.

As we reached diaplan, the mask fell off. This guy had now clue what he was teaching. Salman only knew the solution for the lab but in real life dint knew why we use dialplan.

All my basic quesitons he was not able to answer and would always ignore it. Many a times i have heard him calling himself BAAP (Master of UC) . Huh, MASTER ?

one of the student passed and i heard salman bragging that that guy passed because of salman. I spoke to that passing guy told me honestly if you want to pass please speak to arshad or joaquim instead of salman.

I dint understand what he meant untill later.

SO i decided to ask salman few basic quesitons

WHat is VAD?

whats the difference between VOIP and POTS dialpeer?

WHats the difference between CME and CUCM?

And guess what, this BAAP (MASTER of UC) has no knowledge of anything. he dodge all this quesiotns telling me this is unecessary quesitons.

And also overheard salman telling joaquim that this guy (thats me) is very annoying. If you cant answer my quesiton that means i am annoying.

Wow, i have paid money to CCIE HOME and salmn tells to so called Hepta CCIE's that i am annoying and ask irrelevant quesitons. I wish So called hepta ccies would have spoken to me instead.

I have seen salman claiming that he makes solution for www.cciecollaborationlabs.com. SO now we know who is the owner of REal Labs.

Infact i have seen the word document on one of the POD and which i had used for practicing.

I have also seen Salman preparing cheat materials ( CLI config for Routers) and handing over to the students so they can refer them in exam.

Also heard that CCIE HOME students calling and using whatsapp during the CCIE LAB.

WOw if you wnt to be expert in Cheating then i would suggest CCIE HOME.

IF you want to be a dumpster then join CCIE HOME

But if you want to learn technology then join INE or COllabcert.

SO incase you have already enrolled with CCIE HOME and you trainer is Salman then i would better suggest you to ask for refund.

Soon i will share the Lab2 document which salman claims that he made that for www.cciecollaborationlabs.com

Rgds,

CCIE HOME KA BAAP

(Even though i have no knowledge in UC but i still call myself the master of UC)

Fri, 04 Dec 2015 01:27:15 +0000CCIE Collaboration GeneralALPHA133678@/discussionsMy sincere apologies for disturbing your obvious busy time sirs. I have made up my mind on networking to the end as a career and I would be most grateful for your kind counsel. Please for a starter with exposure to RnS to Associate level, which of the following tracks would you advice which would(1) Give higher ROI(2) Give a wider scope/exposure and adaptability to the others i.e. DC or SP or Collaboration or RnS ?(3) What recommendable live gear models would be best for each domain e.g. for a home lab?

(4) With the changing collaboration, DC and security, how does one get reliable current materials for studies and prep? which are the recent exam codes for DC and Security and collaboration and RnS ?

Thanks for your most anticipated kind revert

L2VPN for home labhttps://ieoc.com/discussion/22234/l2vpn-for-home-lab
Sat, 16 Jun 2012 15:11:37 +0000CCIE Collaboration Generaljahudson22234@/discussionsHow is everyone doing? I already have most of the equipment on INE voice lab hardware list so I considering setting up l2vpn in my home for 2 reasons..

1. Because I've read that it's how the actually lab is set up

2. Because I want to get as much equipment out of my living and into the closet as possible...lol

Has anyone else done this or am I just doing to much? If any has done this, what is the best method for doing it. Thanks in advanced

CAC Bandwidth for iLBChttps://ieoc.com/discussion/34574/cac-bandwidth-for-ilbc
Thu, 09 Jun 2016 17:49:15 +0000CCIE Collaboration GeneralEdFrench34574@/discussionsI am trying to find the amount of bandwidth that CUCM uses for CAC calculations for iLBC. I have been searching and can not find an answer so I decided I would test on my own.

Based on my calculation I figured it would be 32K

I set up a location with a max BW to another location of 32, started performance monitor under RTMT and placed a call. The call succeeded and according to RTMT 29K was used. I thne began lowering my location max BW to 31, 30 and 29 all 3 calls succeeded. I then lowered it to 28 and the call failed with "not enough bandwidth". So I increased back up to 29 but the call still failed, raised it to 30 and still failed, raised it to 31 and the call succeeded. Each time I increased or decreased the BW I monitored the available BW in RTMT and made sure it reflected the change before I attempted a call.

It seems that iLBC uses something between 29 and 31 depending if you are increasing or decreasing BW.

Does anyone know the Cisco official number?

October Collab Bootcamp - Seattlehttps://ieoc.com/discussion/33114/october-collab-bootcamp-seattle
Mon, 24 Aug 2015 10:42:12 +0000CCIE Collaboration Generaldeleon33114@/discussionsCurious to know if we have any folks in here that are signed up to take the CCIE Collaboration boot camp in October.

I just failed on my CCIE Collaboration lab attempt, which is frustating but reviewing the score there are things which I don't understand. When you fail you get a % of scoring in every section (Infrastructure, CUCM, Unity, UCCX,etc..) and I got a 0 on both UCCX and IM but I'm pretty sure that I got all the points on these sections. So I started looking what do I have to do to request a review and I found out that I'm "not eligible".

Does it mean I cannot request a review? Why? I'm not sure if I want to request this review or not since I also missed points on other sections, but at least I'd like to have the option...Does anyone know why a candidate would not be eligible for a review?

I have new network requirement where we have to connect a 24 port non POE switch via Cisco IP phone(computer port) and network port will connect with L3 core POE enabled switch, using IP phone as bridging unit so that IP phone can pass data traffic/mac addresses of hosts connected on non POE switch to core switch.

Is their any possiblity to make both IP phone & users connected to non POE switch will reach to core switch?

Cisco 6921 phone https://ieoc.com/discussion/33766/cisco-6921-phone
Wed, 30 Dec 2015 10:42:07 +0000CCIE Collaboration Generallillesteen33766@/discussionsHi there,

Need a bit of help. Using some Cisco 6921 phone's and after moving them around I can't re register them again. All network configuration are done correct, but somehow the phone will not see my cucm vers. 10.5 ????

I would like to ask what particular server, in a cluster, is in charge of setting up the h323 trunk on behalf of a phone, towards another cluster.

I have one device whose Device-Pool is pointing to the publisher first and then the subscriber.

When calling from the first DN on the same phone, the trunk is setup by the publisher, as it's supposed to be, but when I call from the other DN configured on the same phone, the trunk is established by the subscriber.

Let me tell you that the route-pattern that I am matching has the partition specified in the CSS of both DNs (They have different CSS assigned).

The Trunk is directly assigned to the Route Pattern and the Device Pool of the Trunk is configured with the Publisher first and the Subscriber after.

What is the criteria that would make the second DN trigger the Subscriber, rather than the publisher as I would expect?

INE after Markhttps://ieoc.com/discussion/32788/ine-after-mark
Wed, 01 Jul 2015 14:19:18 +0000CCIE Collaboration Generalever44032788@/discussionsHello I am wondering when the next INE collaboration class will be. I have not seen any updates on the material and there does not seem to be a class scheduled since Mark left.

We were told in the class that we could do a free retake of the class which i am interested in but without another class scheduled that is difficult to do. Does INE have plans on offereing another Collabaration class in the near future?

Will there be a newer version of the workbook offered. When i purchaced the voice workbook i was also told that i would get the new collab workbook when it was released and again so far there seems to be no progress in the release of the new workbook.

Do not want to sound negative about the INE product was very happy with INE and was happy with the bootcamp. Just seems INE now has a hole without Mark there and i am hopeing it gets filled soon as i continue my studies for the CCIE collaboration.
